"An inventive rutabaga choucroute brings needed acidity to the fatty belly, but the pristine, crispy skin elevates this dish above its more mundane competitors across the city. Ginger provides a kicking heat, emphasizing the rutabaga’s winter sweetness." – IrnScrabbleChf52 on beer-braised pork belly at the Bar Room at The Modern

"Not a special occasion place (more like a take your food and run place) but a great spot if you're looking for everyday oxtails in brown sauce with outstanding rice and peas cooked with coconut milk + sweet plantains. The best part? It's $10." – taxigourmet on a Jamaican feast at Walkers Wood

"It's a mini version of Sunrise Mart really, with standard snacks, cup ramen, condiments, frozen foods, cooking ingredients, and Japanese cookware. They have a small selection of fresh veggies like nira, gobo, ginger—stuff like that. In terms of fresh foods, they have onigiri, premade sushi, and two brands of tofu. They also have a cooler with Japanese beer, including some craft beers.... Oh, and be still my beating liver, they also sell Takara brand of 6.5% chu-hai." – Silverjay on Midoriya in Brooklyn
